CHAPTER 60: CHAPTER 60: MARRIAGE

The relationship between Paige Sterling and Seth Shaw was also interfered with by her, who bribed Melody Mercer to cause trouble.

These were all minor issues. Even Paige’s authority on the set and the horse-riding accident were her doing.

How is this just simple jealousy between girls? This is literally attempting to kill Paige.

It’s truly a miracle that Paige survived until now.

Case after case, it’s no wonder Jared Sullivan couldn’t take it anymore.

Even Yvette Hughes couldn’t endure it.

How could she have such a malicious daughter?

She slapped Skylar Hughes in anger, heartbroken and distressed.

"How could you do this? Is this how I taught you?"

Mr. Hughes saw it and quickly pulled Skylar over, glaring at Yvette.

"How could you hit your daughter?"

Sure enough, with a stepfather comes a stepmother’s behavior.

How could his daughter be so vicious? It must be because of the mistreatment she received in the Sterling Family that she felt wronged and acted out of desperation.

What’s more, Mr. Hughes even suspected that Jared Sullivan abused his daughter.

No, he couldn’t leave his daughter in the Sterling Family any longer. He wanted to take his daughter away! He couldn’t let her be trampled by these wealthy people.

"Skylar, let’s go, Dad will take you home."

Skylar Hughes shook off Mr. Hughes’s hand, "Who wants to go with you? Who’s your daughter? I’ve told you, I don’t have a father like you!"

Mr. Hughes, "...", questioning life.

Skylar Hughes then knelt at Jared Sullivan’s feet.

She knew that since Jared had investigated these matters, there was no point in arguing further; it would be better to admit her mistake now.

"Dad, I truly realize my mistakes, I won’t dare to do it again, I will definitely get along with my sister in the future, I won’t compete with her for anything, please don’t drive me away, okay?"

At this point, even Yvette Hughes was feeling a bit uneasy.

Mr. Hughes was just an ordinary man who couldn’t possibly provide Skylar with a comfortable life or a better future.

So, staying in the Sterling Family was naturally the best for Skylar.

She also hoped her daughter could have a bright future.

"Jared, can’t we..."

Jared Sullivan glanced at Yvette, "If you want to leave with your daughter, I won’t stop you."

Yvette immediately fell silent.

She had been living in the Sterling Family for so many years, accustomed to the life of a wealthy wife; if she left, where could she go? What could she do?

"Skylar, you should go back with your dad first..."

Yvette thought that since Jared was angry right now, it would be better for Skylar to leave temporarily, and she would persuade him later when he calmed down.

However, Skylar didn’t understand her intentions.

"You’re also asking me to leave? I am your own daughter! Are you also driving me away?"

"Skylar, Mom is doing this for your own good..."

"Don’t say it’s for my good!" Skylar, on the verge of losing everything, had already lost her sanity, looking like a mad dog.

"You just crave wealth and luxury, afraid I’ll affect your position as Mrs. Sterling!"

Yvette was tremendously shocked, never expecting her own daughter to think of her that way.

These years in the Sterling Family, to prevent Skylar from overthinking, she had violated her promise to Jared Sullivan and barely showed any concern for Paige.

She continuously favored Skylar, yet now Skylar said such things about her.

Yvette almost fainted from the blow.

Jared Sullivan watched coldly without speaking.

At this moment, he realized he was luckier than Yvette in many ways.

His daughter was still the same, though appearing distant, she was considerate and understanding, and hadn’t changed.

But Yvette’s daughter had become unrecognizable; whether it was truly a matter of upbringing or her nature.

No matter how much Skylar didn’t want to leave the Sterling Family, Jared Sullivan had made up his mind, and eventually, she was taken away by Mr. Hughes.

Paige also returned a few days later, only to find that it seemed like there was no trace of Skylar in the house.

And Yvette seemed to have changed.

Paige instantly understood, she hadn’t expected her father to do so much for her.

After all, driving Skylar away was forcing Yvette to make a choice, which might end her father’s second marriage.

Paige couldn’t describe how she felt.

Her father was actually a very emotional and worldly man; he wanted to return to a home after a busy day at work, to have a gentle woman by his side, cooking for him, caring for him...

This role couldn’t be replaced by a daughter.

Unfortunately, her mother passed away too early.

So, when Jared met Yvette, he was moved.

Yvette wasn’t very beautiful, her character even a bit weak and indecisive, yet she was gentle, with an innate charm when she smiled.

Jared might not have been deeply in love with Yvette; he married her for the life he had dreamed of.

But now, it seemed he also regretted it.

However, having married Yvette, Jared felt a responsibility towards her. His sense of duty as a man made it impossible for him to divorce Yvette, leaving him with no choice but to drive Skylar away.

Looking at his father’s hair gradually graying, Paige also felt uneasy inside.

When she left the Sterling Family, she lightly hugged Jared Sullivan.

"Dad, live well with Auntie, I just want you to be okay."

Yvette wasn’t a greedy person, now without Skylar, she should be able to live well with Dad.

When Julian Hawthorne returned home, Paige was still curled up in her bedroom.

Julian could feel that Paige’s mood wasn’t quite right; even the robot was huddled to one side, afraid to approach her.

He opened the bedroom door and went in, gently patting her back.

"Have some milk."

Paige slowly turned to look at him, her eyes seemed a bit red, but she hadn’t cried.

She stared at Julian for a while, then suddenly rested her head on his knee.

Julian smiled slightly and patted Paige’s head.

But the next moment, his smile froze because Paige said, "You’re like my dad."

Julian, "..."

Had he inadvertently turned himself into the image of her future father-in-law?

Upon returning to his bedroom, Julian received messages from Paige on V Chat.

But she wasn’t sending them to Julian, but to Summer Xavier.

"Watching my dad’s figure gradually disappearing from my sight today, I suddenly felt like crying."

"He’s really getting old."

"He even urged me to get married today, and I’m considering whether to get married and give him a grandson so he can feel a bit younger."

Julian stared at these three V Chat messages for a long time before typing a line.

"You... found someone?"

Paige replied, "Maybe, but I don’t know if he’s willing."

Paige looked at the screen, Summer hadn’t replied for a long time, then finally one word came back.

"Who?"

Paige, "You know."

You know...

So who is it?

Julian wished he could immediately knock on Paige’s door and ask her who it was.

But if he did, wouldn’t that expose that he wasn’t actually Summer Xavier?

If Paige found out that he even impersonated her best friend and learned all of her secrets shared only with a best friend, she’d surely think he was a pervert.

Julian scratched his head, once again unable to sleep through the night.

The next morning, he hurriedly put on a facial mask.
